So! I forgot all about this place. But that doesn't matter because now I have remembered.
It's still COLD, here, despite being either Spring or nearly-Spring.
But I recently bought a hot water bottle. And here is a fact: it has made a difference. Feeling chilly doesn't bother me too much in the day, but at night what is really desirable is somewhere warm and puffy and comfortable. My hot water bottle does its job so well that I don't need to wear my knubbly woolen socks after a while, because I've just got too HOT. In this room, that is cold enough for my fridge to be obsolete. And it stays warm for at least four hours.
A hot water bottle will not cost you much. I think mine was about four pounds including postage from ebay, and I sewed a cover for it with some fabric left over from pillowcovers (which counts as free!). A cover isn't necessary - they stop the heat escaping so "fast", I think, but mine's only cotton and more for show than use - but they aren't necessarily expensive even if you buy one rather than choose to make your own!
